Material of our japanese cooking knives

European knives are rustfree, but they never reach the same hardness and sharpness of the japanese cooking knives and get therefore quite quickly blunt. Due to the soft alloy, the cutting angle is about 76°. Traditional japanese cooking knives are very sharp thanks to their cutting angle of just 45.5°, but they rust and are therefore not easy to clean and to handle. It is even possible that little pieces of the blade may quarry out.

Our japanese cooking knives combine the advantages of both fabrication method: With a hardness of 58° rockwell the blades match with traditional japanese cooking knives, but thanks to the high part of chrome they do not rust. Furthermore, this special alloy makes the blade scratch resistant, long live and easy cleaning.

The knives are ergonomic, e.g. the shape of both blade and handle and the well balanced weight of handle and blade impede a fatigue of the wrist even when it is used for hours and hours.
